List of composers (143 words)
A strong distinction is made amongst composers, lyricists and performers in such genres as classical and jazz.
In other genres, such as popular and folk music, the term "songwriter", meaning someone who authors both music and lyrics, is more common than "composer"; a songwriter who also performs is a "singer/songwriter."
Many classical composers have also written music for films.
Afro-European classical music (2114 words)
For some prominent composers, such as Amadeo Roldan (Cuba) and Heitor Villa-Lobos (Brazil), Afro-Creole traditions were the principal source of inspiration and thus a significant component in the expression and affirmation of their countriesÂ’ national identities.
Some colonial-era composers had already written secular villancicos and operas, the first of which was produced in 1701 in Lima, Peru.
Nationalist composers, like many writers and thinkers of the time, looked to their countriesÂ’ historical roots in order to create a distinctly national form of expression in art music.
